How To Achieve Proper Length of Pull (Part 1)

You should not drive those screws back in with a drill like that. You're damaging the threads inside the stock. You may even be cutting new threads between the old ones. The right way is to use a screwdriver and turn them counter-clockwise until you feel the screw threads line up with the threads that have been cut into the wood. You'll feel a nice snap or even a pop when they line up. Now you can easily tighten into the original threads with max clamp force and extend the life of the parts.

@svriderpokey I do that with scope rings, especially if they're aluminium with steel screws, it's easy to damage the threads.
